The Department of Health and Human Services, through the Office of Mission Acquisition Solutions on behalf of the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, intends to award a firm-fixed-price contract to Genedata (USA), Inc. for a 12-month renewal of the Genedata Analyst bioinformatics software. This acquisition is conducted under FAR Part 12 for commercial products and FAR Part 6.103-1, identifying Genedata as the only responsible source capable of meeting the requirements. The software is essential for the Viral Pathogenesis and Evolution Section to maintain continuity in its research on respiratory viral disease, vaccine development, and antiviral therapies, specifically by utilizing over 100 million historical gene-expression data points. Genedata Analyst provides critical capabilities for the statistical modeling of multi-omics data, including linear and nonlinear normalization methods such as LOWESS and Quantile Normalization. The software supports advanced analytical functions including parametric and non-parametric testing, mixed linear models, Principal Components Analysis, and machine learning tools like Decision Trees and Partial Least Square analysis. Additionally, it offers interactive visualization tools such as heat maps, scatter plots, and tree maps to support the identification of biomarkers and biological network characterization. The government is seeking capability statements from interested parties by September 14, 2026, to determine if a competitive procurement is warranted.

The NOAA Office of Satellite and Product Operations is seeking to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Ansys Government Initiatives, Inc. for annual licensing of Ansys Systems Tool Kit (STK) software, specifically including STK Pro, STK Scheduler, Scheduler Online, and STK Premium (Space). This acquisition supports critical satellite operations within NESDIS by enabling precise orbit determination and trajectory calculations essential for the telemetry, commanding, and navigation of GOES and JPSS weather satellites. The contract will cover version upgrades, unlimited technical support, and license transferability across new hardware for a one-year base period running from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027, with an anticipated award date prior to the start of the period. STK is recognized as the foundational platform for the Enterprise Automated Scheduling Implementation Common Service, which manages all NOAA antenna scheduling, and no alternative software can be feasibly substituted without prohibitive costs and delays in reengineering and testing. The acquisition is conducted under simplified procedures per 41 U.S.C. 1901 due to the unique and specialized nature of STK, which only Ansys Government Initiatives, Inc. can provide as the sole developer and authorized distributor of these specific licenses. There are no competing products capable of integrating with existing NOAA systems without extensive rework, and no other vendors are qualified to supply the required software. No technical data, construction, or international trade agreements apply to this procurement, and no additional qualifications beyond the ability to deliver the specified STK licenses are required. The solicitation, numbered REQUIREMENTS-26-0166, was posted on May 27, 2026, with responses due by June 11, 2026, and is being managed by the Department of Commerce in Silver Spring, Maryland, with performance expected in Suitland, Maryland. Point of contact for inquiries is Jame Chang, with secondary support from Scott DeLoera.
